The UN climate chief called India’s clean energy journey like "Sachin + Sooryavanshi rolled into one"; steady, powerful, and still rising. But here’s the twist: while India’s renewable growth is turning heads worldwide, its diplomatic presence at key climate talks has quietly dipped. Virtual meetings, small embassy teams, no ministers at global summits; all while the country races ahead on clean power. Why the disconnect? Maybe it’s austerity after the Iran war. Maybe it’s recalibrating priorities. But one thing’s clear; the world sees India as a climate leader, even if India itself isn’t always in the front row. For job seekers eyeing green energy or climate policy roles, this gap might be the next big opportunity. The action’s happening; not just in UN halls, but in India’s villages, factories, and startups. The real leadership? It’s being built on the ground, not the podium.
